Processing of as-48ABC RNA in AS-48 enterocin production by Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterocin AS-48 production and immunity characters are encoded by 10 genes (as-48ABCC(1)DD(1)EFGH) of the pMB2 plasmid from the Enterococcus faecalis S-48 strain. Among these, as-48A, encoding the AS-48 peptide, and the as-48BC genes constitute a cluster required for AS-48 biogenesis and full immunity. In this study, the levels of expression of this cluster have been altered by insertion and si...
متن کاملA simple method for semi-preparative-scale production and recovery of enterocin AS-48 derived from Enterococcus faecalis subsp. liquefaciens A-48-32.
Production of enterocin AS-48 by Enterococcus faecalis A-48-32 was compared between standard and high-cell density batch fermentations. In high-cell density cultures, bacteriocin production was 2.47-fold higher, provided that the pH was controlled during the fermentation. A two-step procedure for recovery of milligram quantities of purified bacteriocin was developed, based on adsorption of the ...
متن کاملA transferable plasmid associated with AS-48 production in Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococcus faecalis S-48 produces a peptide antibiotic, AS-48, and a bacteriocin, Bc-48. We have isolated mutants that lack these inhibitory characteristics. Further analysis of the mutants indicates that a plasmid of 56 kilobases (pMB2) may harbor the genes for AS-48. In conjugation experiments, pMB2 has been transferred into a plasmid-free OG1X strain of E. faecalis. The OG1X(pMB2) transcon...
متن کاملPurification and amino acid composition of peptide antibiotic AS-48 produced by Streptococcus (Enterococcus) faecalis subsp. liquefaciens S-48.
Peptide antibiotic AS-48 was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The purified fraction was active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. AS-48 is a basic protein with an isoelectric point of ca. 10.5 and a molecular mass of 7.4 kilodaltons. Its inhibitory activity was markedly affected by sod...
متن کاملAnalysis of the gene cluster involved in production and immunity of the peptide antibiotic AS-48 in Enterococcus faecalis.
A region of 7.8 kb of the plasmid pMB2 from Enterococcus faecalis S-48 carrying the information necessary for production and immunity of the peptide antibiotic AS-48 has been cloned and sequenced. It contains the as-48A structural gene plus five open reading frames (as-48B, as-48C, as-48C1, as-48D and as-48D1). Besides As-48D, all the predicted gene products are basic hydrophobic proteins with ...
